if it works for you and the picture is good enough for your viewing, who cares about what other people think?
don't let peer pressure affect you  |

Yeah, KL is cheaper, 2k can get a HD Ready 42' Plasma, 42' FHD LCD around RM2300I like the Panasonic IPS alpha panel, cos it made in Japan. Higher tech than the current S-IPS panel |

I've bought the 42inch version. Quality is good. It also depends what type of DVD we play lah
Some Ahem DVDs are better than others the picture is very clear. Oh, remember to buy a DVD player that can upscale to Full HD. |

Added on June 24, 2010, 11:56 am The trend maybe well that, but still not adopted by the masses yet because the prices of the BD Discs are still expensive. I'll wait for the players & discs to come down in price. Right now, HD quality is good enough for me.  but repeated program, yes, I have....  For the 2nd point i agree with you, price of BD discs now are still expensive. The BD player itself are also still expensive. For the time being, better I stick to my current upscale DVD player....

Just that for me I am not willing to spend that type of money for BD quality. I don't think the value vs quality is balanced yet. Anyhow this is subjective, some people may think it's worth it while others don't think so. I guess we'll all make choices which we think suits our needs & budgets. |
